The Yorkville Highlands appellation was recognized in 1998 for its distinctive confluence of high elevation (1,400 ft), coastal influence, warm days and rocky hillsides with an unusual amount of gravel. Yin and yang... rocky, mountain fruit with boisterous intensity blended with vibrant acidity and fresh fruit... put it altogether and you have a massive wine built for aging. Although, it is pretty gorgeous and accessible now. At this price, no reason you can't drink now.... and in five years... and in ten!
Vinous Media: 94 Points
"The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Game Trail emerges from a site planted at 1,400 feet in elevation in the Yorkville Highlands. Readers will find a dark, savory, almost pungent Cabernet Sauvignon that is deeply expressive of place. Blackberry, olive tapenade, black pepper, sage and lavender add to a palpable impression of gravitas. I would give the 2022 a year or two in bottle to shed some of its baby fat. It's an incredibly distinctive wine, that much is plainly obvious."
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
"The 2022 Game Trail Cabernet Sauvignon is herbal on the nose: blackcurrant fruit is accented by tones of eucalyptus, green pepper, dried herbs and lavender. The full-bodied palate features concentrated layers of dark fruit. It’s structured by gently chewy tannins and bright acidity and has a long finish streaked with floral perfume."
